Carr Backs TikTok Data Collection Ban

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr backed legislation that would ban TikTok from collecting U.S. user data from China and block installation of the social media app on government devices. Calling it a “strong bill,” Carr tweeted support Tuesday for the Block the Tok Act, a bill from Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D. Carr’s office in July scheduled a meeting with TikTok over its data collection practices (see 2207150064).
